usability

Usability's most famous (and infamous) guru posted an interesting article about how successful sites are in conveying core organizational information in the ubiquitous About Us page. A good reminder that no matter graphically compelling you make your site, if people can't quickly discern the most basic information about your company, you've lost sight of what your site is meant to do: communicate.

It's fitting that the first entry in this blog should be about the 2008 Toronto DrupalCamp, since it was talking to the people there that inspired me to get a blog going.

As it was last year, this year's DrupalCamp was a fabulous opportunity to learn a lot about what's going on with my favourite CMS, who's using it and for what, and to have some very interesting discussions about how to make it better.
